Barber is a leader in the sustainable movement, and his projects are always fascinating - and delicious. That describes his Five Senses Dinner series, each of which explores how our senses inform our palate:

Smell (Sunday, April 6): A leading perfume designer and a smell psychologist team up with Barber to pair unique scents with an aromatic four-course dinner.

Hearing (Sunday, May 4): A prix-fixe feast to the strains of Grammy award-winning violinist and composer Mark O'Connor.

Sight (Sunday, July 13): Explore the natural world as inspiration for artists, chefs and farmers with Glenn Lowry, Director of the Museum of Modern Art, and sculptor Joel Shapiro.

Touch (Sunday, September 28): How tactile experiences enhance our relationship with the environment, led by Jack Algiere, Stone Barns' grower, and Craig Haney, its livestock manager.

Taste (Sunday, November 16): With Harold McGee, award-winning food writer, savor the diverse flavors being reclaimed on local farms.

what a hoot. you can tell quite a bit about a person and their cooking/family situation from a grocery cart's contents. BTW - the mac n' cheese, cottage cheese, and hot dogs in my cart are for my toddler son for his fussy eating moments. Don't take yourself so darn seriously.

It isn't too $$$ compared to some of the most recent openings like Per Se, etc and it's more than a meal, it's really an experience and a day well spent. I hope you go and enjoy!

crazycook2, from the web site, it looks like a 3-course lunch is $58, and a 3-course dinner starts at $65. Looks like there's also a cafe that probably is a la carte and not as expensive.
